Excerpt from The Seven Great Hymns of the Mediaeval Church

In holy Rome the only power is gold; There all is bought - there every thing is fold. Becaufe {he is the very way to' right, There truth is perifhed by unholy fleight. Even as the wheel turns, Rome to evil turns, Rome, that fpreads fragrance as when incenfe burns. Rome wrongs mankind, and teaches men the road To flee far off from Righteoufnefs' abodel To feck for ruinous and difgraceful gain, The pallium's felf with fimony to ftain. If aught you wifh, be fure a goodly bribe Will haf'te the fealing of the lingering fcribe. Rife! Follow! Let your penny go before, Seek boldly then the threlhold; fear no more That any {tumbling-blocks will bar the way, The Pope's own favor you can get for pay Without that help, 'tis hef't to keep away.
